Ecovia Renewables Inc. was formed in 2014 as a spin-out company from the University of Michigan. It is our mission to develop and commercialize high-performing biobased ingredients and materials from sustainable processes at the best value for our customers. We do this by having microbial ecosystems work for us. Our suite of Ecovia™ Biopolymers are created from a proprietary fermentation process. They are affordable, biobased, biodegradable, and functional alternatives to conventional acrylate and acrylamide polymers and starch-based biopolymers.  Applications range from soil additives for water retention to super-absorbent cores for infant diapers to thickeners for personal care and industrial products, among many others.
